Our favorite day of the week...

Friendsday WEdnesday is a weekly feature of Advocacy Without Borders where we celebrate all of the great things that WE (advocates around the world) are doing to improve our various communities.

We are not employed by nor formally affiliated with any of these groups nor are we receiving any compensation for promoting their work. We consider them to be "friends" because we share a common goal of using our resources for positive change. And we hope that you will be inspired by their passion!

Our theme this week is nontraditional leadership. All of our posts will be about organizations and/or individuals whom do not fit the profile of what society often expects a leader to be like. And frankly, we're glad that they differ so strongly from the status quo!

Advocacy Without Borders

About Us

Our mission is to encourage ALL people to make a difference...regardless of their differences.

Advocacy Without Borders exists because ALL voices matter, & because all people deserve an opportunity to strive for growth & change.

Affirming that "stakeholders," "clients," "self-advocates," etc should be actively engaged in our own movements, we promote social justice via collaborative partnerships (where allies are valued not above, but alongside those for whom they advocate), education & community engagement.

We strive to be an inclusive, cohesive community that welcomes all who support our cause.

Founded in 2014 by Morénike Giwa Onaiwu, our initial activities include grassroots community mobilization and awareness activities, social media advocacy, public speaking/presentations, and occasional qualitative research and technical assistance.
